As we enter June, we are still under the beams of the new moon in Gemini, which occurred on May 30. With eclipse season over and the moon now gaining light, the astrology of June provides the perfect terrain to integrate all the movement that took place in April and May. While the overall theme of “great change” that characterizes 2022 remains active, the natal planets will be in stronger positions, helping us achieve more of our goals.
The cosmic energy of May 2022 feels thick and heavy. There are so many energetic influences swirling through the Universe, and we may have to take extra steps to manage our energy levels and keep ourselves in a state of balance. The three important astrological events of the month are the Mercury Retrograde in Gemini, the Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio and the move of Jupiter into Aries for the first time in 12 years. May is going to be a turning point month. We may feel stretched to our limits and both weary and excited by any transformations that may come our way. It is also likely we will experience the ending or closing of a chapter in our lives this month.
March has always been dubbed the wild month of the year. In between Winter and Spring, March weather, “comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb”. But I have always found April to be more unpredictable. I remember resentfully wearing snow boots instead of my new white Mary Jane’s on many a snowy morning when Easter occurred in April. While there’s no snow in the forecast April still has some surprises.
This New Moon in Pisces is especially warm, generous, and optimistic with its alignment with Jupiter. The major planets are all direct, contributing to a feeling of moving forward. Venus, Mars, and Pluto are closely joined at this time, adding a dynamic and creative element to the energies of our new beginnings.
